Using long-term ranging patterns to assess within-group and between-group competition in wild mountain gorillas

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2020
Background Competition within and between social groups determines access to resources and can be inferred from space use parameters that reflect depletion of food resources and competitive abilities of groups.

Extreme home range sizes among Eurasian lynx at the northern edge of their biogeographic range [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
AbstractEurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) have a wide distribution across Eurasia. The northern edge of this distribution is in Norway, where they reach up to 72 degrees north. We conducted a study of lynx space use in this region from 2007 to 2013 using GPS telemetry. The home range sizes averaged 2,606 (± 438 SE) km2 for males (n = 9 ranges) and 1,456 (± 179

Are trapping data suited for home-range estimation?

open access: yes, 2022
Modern home-range estimation typically relies on data derived from expensive radio- or GPS-tracking. Although trapping represents a low-cost alternative to telemetry, there lacks an evaluation of the performance of home-range estimators on trap-derived ...

Estimating Queen Conch (Strombus gigas) home ranges using acoustic telemetry: implications for the design of marine fishery reserves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Marine reserves (MRs) may function as a vital tool in the conservation and management of marine resources if source populations are managed for the benefit of those downstream.

First Capture of a Jaguar Using a Minimally Invasive Capture System for GPS Tracking in an Isolated Patch of Atlantic Forest in Southern Brazil

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
This study presents the first successful capture using GPS tagging of a jaguar (Panthera onca) using a minimally invasive capture system (MICS). We used snare-foot traps and a MICS during two capture campaigns in a fragment of Atlantic Forest in ...

Factors affecting the home range size of felids (Mammalia, Carnivora) with emphasis on three American species

open access: yesEcología Austral, 2017
We evaluated several factors that might be related to the home-range size of felids at both inter and intraspecific levels. At the interspecific level, we tested the influence of body mass on home range size of 19 felid species, while controlling for ...

Spatial organisation of badgers (<em>Meles meles</em>) in a medium-density population in Luxembourg

open access: yesHystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2010
<p><strong>Abstract</strong><br /> Any hypothesis aiming to explain the social organisation of Eurasian badgers <em>Meles meles</em> has to consider its wide inter-population variability.

Timing of Resource Availability Drives Divergent Social Systems and Home Range Dynamics in Ecologically Similar Tree Squirrels

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Intraspecific variation in home range size has important implications for the distribution of animals across landscapes and the spatial structuring of population, community, and ecosystem processes.
